How WAP works
Imagine a sales person who wants to check the order status of a client.

- The sales person requests the order status in his WAP phone by
means of a microbrowser.
- The call is transported over the celular network using WAP
protocols.
- The WAP Gateway connects the call to the internet using HTTP (it
actually does a lot more).
- The Web Server receives the request and connects to the Sales
System.
- The Sales System processes the request and returns the order
status. The order status is now transported in revers order.
